It’s almost casual, particularly if you consider that just an hour before this shot was taken Elena Perminova was strutting about another part of Paris in a bright metallic blue trench coat and heels. Outfit changes between shows are all in a day’s work for a model-cum-socialite. And so a more downplayed look of slim-fit pants, Balenciaga’s cutaway flat boots, and a chunky Tommy Hilfiger braided knit make for the kind of outfit that would work anywhere, anytime, fashion week or no.

The thing elevating the outfit to high fashion, sit-up-and-take-notice status? The Louis Vuitton masked cap.

It’s hard to fault Permoniva’s outfits – selected perfectly to compliment her figure and blonde bob – and this one that she wore to the Jean Paul Gaultier couture spring 2013 show is no exception.
